And then there's the art, tea and cake, the garden and music; in no particular order and with fun … then there will be days when there is no order and or fun. Either way my day posts from the print room, the cafe or the bike (which incidentally is usually parked in the garden when not in use) will be tempered accordingly

A snapshot from the Bodleian ….

Today, as if you didn’t know is my last day at work in the library before I go on holiday. It marks the end of a wonderful year. Lots of achievements and milestones reached both sides of the Atlantic that have outweighed any misadventure that might have occurred … and they did!

The last few hours are only to be painfully slow!

One of the highlights this week was a visit to the Bodleian Library in Oxford. This will be documented fully when I return from Brazil.

It was a staff outing for a select bunch from the museum and special collections teams; so we could share some experiences and items not seen by the general public. For me this embroidered bible; (its age and provenance I cannot remember at the moment) was a joy and a nice snapshot!
